Angel Dogs with a Mission -- Book Launch

Our Angel Dogs with a Mission book launch was a wonderful, successful, and fun event. The Borders Book and Music in Minnetonka set up a nice, cozy spot for the attendees with plenty of room for a book display.

We created color posters of dogs in the book and had them displayed for the event. We appreciated all who attended. Rebecca Kragnes and her dog Zane shared information about guide dogs. Rebecca's story "The Little Mother Who Saved My Life" is featured in Angel Dogs with a Mission.

When authors speak and sign books at a bookstore, it's like giving a party and wondering if anyone will come. Sometimes they are dismal affairs that are affected by bad weather (nobody wants to drive) and good weather (nobody wants to be indoors). Overall, we've been very fortunate to have the support of animal lovers and friends who turn out for our events. We are very grateful. And it's most fun of all when dogs are there.

One little dog, Trina, came with her person who shared the dog's mission. Trina was a dog nobody wanted. She was considered to be deformed because she has five legs with two little right front legs. This causes her to limp. But after Trina was adopted, she learned to be a therapy dog. She visits nursing homes, bringing joy and hope to people. Her physical disability doesn't keep her from enjoying life and spreading the love.

It was a real treat to watch Trina with her little therapy jacket on, limping around the store, and sitting quietly while we told stories of other dogs.

If you were to write a book about a special dog, what would your title be?

NEW: Exciting news for us. Animal Planet's show, Dogs 101, is doing a reenactment of one of the stories from ANGEL DOGS: Divine Messengers of Love. The story is about Cpl. J.R., a Jack Russell terrier who made sure a fallen soldier would not be forgotten. The show airs on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (10-25, 26, 27). Check your local listings for times.
